Kie was clear of the third when chasing home Final Liberation over 2m here last month on his first start for Frank Sheridan but a 3lb rise in the weights seems harsh. Hal Of A Lover is 4lb higher than when scoring over 1m5f at Musselburgh but is unlikely to be far away again, but Brook Star isn't progressing and Tommy Tiger ran a shocker at Bath last time. Sharp Relief had Brunello behind at Lingfield on his latest outing and could improve for the longer trip but we'll give another chance to Lahaleeb's half-brother SEA THE FLAMES, who has been taking on slightly better opposition and is only a pound higher than when just beaten at Bath in June.
